Calculating full-time enrollment.

(A)
A student in grade nine may not enroll in
college courses for which the student elects under division (B) of section

receive credit toward high school graduation for more than the equivalent of
four academic school years.

(B)
A
student in grade ten enrolling for the first time in college courses for which
the student elects under division (B) of section
3365.04 of the Revised Code to
receive credit toward high school graduation may not enroll for more than the
equivalent of three academic school years.

(C)
A student in grade eleven enrolling for
the first time in college courses for which the student elects under division
(B) of section 3365.04 of the Revised Code to
receive credit toward high school graduation may not enroll for more than the
equivalent of two academic school years.

(D)
A student in grade twelve enrolling for
the first time in college courses for which the student elects under division
(B) of section 3365.04 of the Revised Code to
receive credit toward high school graduation may not enroll for more than the
equivalent of one academic school year.

(E)
The restrictions specified in paragraphs
(A), (B), (C) and (D) of this rule shall be reduced proportionately for any
such student who enrolls in the program during the course of a school year.

(F)
The method for determining
whether a student is enrolled full-time in the student's high school and/or
joint vocational school shall be that the student is scheduled at the high
school and/or joint vocational school for the total number of courses that
might be scheduled using the total number of periods available during an
official school day at the home school district, community school, or nonpublic
high school, less the standard lunch period.

(G)
The maximum number of Carnegie units that
constitutes a student's educational program during an academic school year
shall be the sum of the Carnegie units scheduled at the high school, joint
vocational school, and college, and shall not exceed the number of Carnegie
units that might be scheduled using the total number of periods available at
the high school during an official school day, less the standard lunch period.

(H)
Conversion of units of high
school graduation credit earned through successful completion of joint
vocational school programs to Carnegie units required for high school
graduation shall be accomplished as follows:

(1)
The joint vocational school will
determine the full-time equivalency in the joint vocational school of each
participating student and report such information to the student's
resident
school district or community school.

(2)
The resident
school district or community school will multiply the full-time equivalency for
each student (as reported by the joint vocational school) by the total number
of periods (excluding the standard lunch period) available at the high school
to determine the number of Carnegie units earned at the joint vocational
school.

(I)
Conversion
of units of high school graduation credit earned through successful completion
of college courses elected for such credit as specified in paragraph (B) of
rule 3301-44-05 of the Administrative
Code to Carnegie units required for high school graduation shall be
accomplished using one of the following methods:

(1)
College courses for which five semester
hours (seven and one-half quarter hours) of credit are earned shall be awarded
one Carnegie unit toward high school graduation; fractional Carnegie units
shall be awarded proportionately.

(2)
College courses shall be substituted for
courses required for high school graduation based upon comparability of content
and without regard to instructional time. The Carnegie units awarded shall be
the same as if the comparable course were taught in the district school.

(3)
A locally developed
alternative method approved by the state superintendent of public instruction.

(J)
The
resident
school district or community school shall confirm with the Ohio department of
education, the joint vocational school, and with each college in which a
student from the resident school or community school district
enrolls, the percentage of full-time equivalency the student represents for the
district, the joint vocational school, and the college as calculated in rule
3301-44-08 of the Administrative
Code.
